Surprise Birthday Party Ideas

Does anyone have any ideas on food for a 40 year old's surprise birthday party? We have the hall (local VFW hall) and decorations but food seems to be our problem. The birthday boy is the Head Football Coach at our local high school, so there will be a lot of males at this surprise party. We want to feed them but also NOT break the bank.

The hall doesn't have a kitchen.

Also, we can not bring in alcohol, the hall will offer a cash bar. Would it be to tacky If we buy one keg then let them buy more if they want? No we are not serving drinks to any players. So. it's the food.

What about "Super Bowl food"? Chili doesn't have to be too expensive. Guy food, finger food, chips, dip, toppings for the chili, etc. Get people to help by bringing crockpots of chili. (04/04/2008)

You could have a surprise party for your mom. Have your dad take her for a ride on his Harley. Then when they get home. Everyone will be there and that's a surprise party! That's my plans for my mom's party on July 12th! (07/01/2008)
